am in the same dilemma few weeks back about getting an avr amp.

after much deliberation, plonked down a reasonable rm1600 for Yamaha RX-V465. the RX-465 would be a good simple buy as compared to its younger brother, RX-V365.

initially the lowest price I could find for RX-V365 was RM950 in PJ. even Pioneer was next expensive and up the ladder to onkyo, denon, marantz, nad, etc. (in terms of their lowest range avr)

but try to avoid RX-V365 because it has HDMI in with video only, no audio. so unless you wish to do HD without any sound this is a budget buy.
